Worst fighters ever: Primal Rage, Rise of the Robots, haha.
but yeah i gotta get the hard corps sequel, sicne hard corps is by far my favorite contra game -- i always laugh when people say contra 3 is better. what a joke! yeah, those TOPDOWN STAGES are soooooooo fun! hah! It took me a few years but I can play through hard corps now, with any character, and get any ending, without dying. I'm seriously considering doing a speed run.. since everyone else seems to have so much difficulty with the game...
My other favorite contra game is shattered soldier for the ps2. It was hilariously overlooked despite being a fucking MASTERPIECE! And, strangely, NEO CONTRA was awesome too, despite being in 3D... it felt a little loose and off but I regularly see it at pawn shops for maximum $10, it's definitely worth that. I think it sold 5 copies whereas Metal Gear Solid 2 sold 5,000,000 copies in its first day. What a joke. At least Konami's rich, eh?

we seem to be up the same alley regarding fighting games. even the vote for the worst goes to the same for me. rise of the robots = you cant jump over the opponent << who the hell FORGOT to programm that feature?????
the only fighters I loved which you didnt mentioned are the streets of rage games. but they are sidescrolling of curse, thats why you havent mentioned. so I will definately check the 2nd Hand stores for some guilty gear games.
but the way I recently asked if MK shaolin Monks is fun!
I saw that you were dissing the MK series for their shitty mechanics, which is absolutely right. its like blocking is senseless, and the one who rushes best will be the winner.
so I ask again, is shaolin monks maybe worth it? especially the multiplayer function kinda interests me.
hard corps is b far my favourite contra of all time, too. I lost it somewhere at the age between 16 and 18 where I didnt care at all, and rebought it recently cause I missed it that much. it was an instant throwback to the good old epeleptic rush I loved so much.
I could even shock my gf with the abnorm speed of the intro alone, hahaha.
I showed it to her on the PS2 (emulated) while I waited for the game to arrive, but unfortunately it was unplayable emulated on the ps2.
and its my favourite contra, because of the color scheme. it looks like terminator, or escape from new york. it hits the exact same vein of mood somehow. plus some total schizophrenic spastic action. hahaha
(I must say that I only played probotector as an original, and I fell in love with robots in my childhood, so I was fine
).
I agree with contra 3, nobody says the truth when he/she is saying that the overhead levels are fun. they disrupt an otherwise highly enjoyable game, nothing more, I think.
I should check shattered soldier too!
